VIII. TESTING .THE SYSTEM
USING TEST MODE
After the installation is completed, the Security
System should be thoroughly tested as follows:
1.
With the System in the disarmed state, check
that all zones are intact. If DISARMED - Press [‘I
to show faults (5137) or NOT READY (4137) is
displayed, press the [‘I key to display the
descriptors of the faulted zone(s). Restore faulted
zone(s) if necessary, so that ““DISARMED”’
READY TO ARM (5137) or READY (4137) is
displayed.
2. Enter the security cod8 and press the TEST
key. The external sounder (if used) should sound for
3 seconds and then turn off (the system is
operating on the back-up battery only at this time).
NOTE 1. The system will not enter the Test mode if
the battery voltage is too low, if the battery is not
connected, or if any communication messages are
waiting to be transmitted.
NOTE 2. As a reminder that the system is in the
Test mode, the Console will sound a single beep at
15second intervals if no protection zones are
violated.
NOTE 3.
In
the Test mode, no alarm reports will be
sent to the central station. Also, the external
sounder (if used) will not be actfvated.
Doors end windows
Open and close each protected door and window in
turn. Each action should produce three beeps from
the Console. The descriptor for each protection
zone will appear on the Console display.
Motion detectors
Walk in front of
any
interior motion detectors.
Listen for three beeps when the detector senses
movement. While it is activated, its descriptor will
remain displayed on
the
Console.
Note that
wireless PlRs will have a 3 minute lockout between
transmissions to conserve battery life.
Smoke detectors
Follow the test procedure provided by the
manufacturer of each smoke detector to ensure that
all detectors are operational and are functioning
properly.
NOTE: A P-wire smoke detector display will not
clear until
the
Test mode is exited.
Turnlng off TEST mode
Enter the aecurii code and press the OFF key.
ARMED SYSTEM TEST
IMPORTANT!
A message will be sent to the
central station during the following tests. Notify
the central station that a test will be in progress.
NOTE: A display of ‘COMM. FAILURE’ (Alpha
consoles) or ‘FC’ (Fixed-Word consoles) indicates a
failure to communicate (no Kissoff by the receiver
at the central station after the maximum number of
transmission attempts is tried).
1. Arm the system and fault one or more zones.
Silence alarm sounder(s) each time by entering the
code and pressing OFF. Check that Entry/Exit delay
zones provide the assigned delay times.

pressed, a ‘96” will be displayed). Silence the
alarm by entering the security code and pressing
OFF. If the system has been programmed for silent
panic, there will be no audible alarms or displays. a
